New York, Feb. 8.—When Jack Britton and Ted Lewis faced each other in the ring at the Garden last they were engaging in twentieth battle, as far as available records testify.

Britton is the oldest cham- pion and has a record longer than that possessed by any other boxer ac- tive today. He started boxing eighteen years ago and in that time has com- | peted in 432 battles to his own per- sonal knowledge, an average of twen- ty-four bouts a year. . Britton has birthday against lads who, when Britton first started his career, were being rocked [ in their cradles.
